Customizing your Kindle settings

To go to the Settings page, tap the Menu button and select Settings. Your Kindle must be

registered to view all settings. The available settings are:

Airplane Mode: Allows you to enable or disable wireless connectivity.

Wi-Fi Networks: Use this option to connect to a Wi-Fi network, display a list of available

networks, and view the name of the Wi-Fi network you are currently connected to, if any.

Registration and Household: Enables you to manage your household and displays the

Amazon account name to which your Kindle is registered. Use this option to register and

deregister your Kindle.

Household and Family Library: Add individuals to your household to share content.

For more information, see Managing your Amazon household. This feature is not

available in all countries.

Device Options: Lets you set a passcode, enable Parental Controls, personalize your Kindle,

and select languages and dictionaries.

Device Passcode: Enables you to restrict access to your Kindle by setting a passcode.

You'll subsequently be prompted to enter the passcode whenever you turn on the device

or wake it from sleep. If you don't remember your passcode, you must contact Kindle

Customer Service.

Parental Controls: Choose between Kindle FreeTime and Restrictions. Use Kindle

FreeTime to create personalized profiles for your child, select books from your library to

share, and set daily reading goals while automatically blocking access to places you may

not want your child to go, such as the Kindle Store, Goodreads on Kindle, or the

Experimental Web Browser. Use Restrictions to manually block the Experimental Web

Browser, Kindle Store, Cloud, and/or Goodreads on Kindle. When you set up Kindle

FreeTime or turn on a restriction for the first time, you will be prompted to create a

password. Note that this password will be required to make changes to settings within

Parental Controls. To change the password, select Change Password from the Parental

Controls screen. If you forget your password, reset it by visiting

http://www.amazon.com/myk and deregistering your device, or by contacting Kindle

Customer Service. When Restrictions are enabled or a Kindle FreeTime profile is active,

you will see a lock icon at the top of the screen next to the Wi-Fi status indicator, and

the Deregistration and Reset Device options will be disabled.

Personalize your Kindle: Lets you manage your device name, add personal and contact

information, set device time, manage recommended content, change the next in series

option, manage Whispersync for Books, and view your Send-to-Kindle Email address.

Device Name: Lets you change the name displayed at the top of the Home screen.
